Michael's images are amazing and indescribable! Their swirls and dips and striations seem so alive and touchable, they MOVE! Truly inspiring. Speaking of inspiration, I was telling Marie last night that I recommend this movie I just recently watched called "Water". It's an Indian film about widows who continue to live in poverty and restriction even today(though the film is set in the time when Ganghi was alive). What I found apropos to this piece were the scenes(and there were many) of bathing in the sacred river(was it the Ganges? I'm not so good with geography...!). It reminded me especially of Marie's section with the stools and the bathing, but I think it would be interesting for every one of us in this piece because it shows this connection between water and it's cleansing abilities, not just it's cleaning abilities. The movie left a mark on my imagination because of it's visual beauty and the blend of story and picture and sound into a cohesive, compelling whole. I can't wait to see how our piece comes together!
